After three years of holding Converge, East Central Indiana's annual volunteer fair, during the heat of the summer, organizers will move the event to Sept. 5 when vacation is far from the minds of local residents.

"We thought people will be back at Ball State (University), they'll be back from going out of town. It seemed like it would be better for most people," said Richard Crist, executive director for the Shafer Leadership Academy, the organizer for Converge. "We're trying to get more people in the community engaged in service. We think the move will help with that."
